Heads should have rolled for sending them out with no radios and limilted ammo, no back-up cover etc, but nothing happened.
    RIP old friend
    Had a similar situation when I was over there mate with a death of someone

      Understand that mate, the only solace we have is to keep the memory alive for them.

            Feel for you Jill. Times like Xmas, New Year, anniversaries and birthdays are difficult for families of our fallen.

                  Be who you are and say what you feel...
                  Because those that matter, don't mind.
                  And those that mind, don't matter!
